Issues & Priorities

City Hall Accountability

Respect taxpayer dollars.

Timely financial reporting. No more non-emergency budget amendments.

No restoring budget cuts months later.

Residents deserve accurate data in its annual audit reports.

Financial Transparency

Residents deserve timely and accurate financial reports.

Shenandoah relies heavily on sales tax revenue. When spending grows faster than sales tax, property taxes often increase.

Responsible Budgeting

I support zero-based budgeting.

Every department should justify spending annually.

Controlling spending is the only sustainable way to prevent tax increases.

Open Government

Major decisions should be discussed publicly before votes occur.

I support: Town Halls;

Complete streaming of all meetings and complete agendas;

Improved communication and engagement with residents.

Planning vs Growth

A larger city isn't always better.

Growth must not harm our quality of life.

Are you struggling with traffic?

 

We need long-term analysis before major development decisions.

Vendor Accountability

Contracts must include benchmarks and timelines (including trash contracts).

Residents deserve accurate data in the annual audit.

Taxpayer-funded projects should not take years to complete.
